NERD ALERT!!!
I'm just kidding. That is remarkable. My wife seemingly spends all her time reading and cracked triple digits (150s, I think) each of the last few years. When I was a kid I read a ton. Mowed through the Hardy Boys collection roughly 900 times. In high school I got more into memoirs and biographies (read every one of John McCain's books). Then somewhere along the line the reading just stopped.
I've noticed that I've been spending way more time on my phone this last year and I have no idea why. I'm not on any of the social media, the only websites I really ever visit are this and 247, yet there I am refreshing it to see the next witty post from one of our dear Lizards. The Internet is such a waste of time. I have caught myself over the last several weeks and said "what are you doing, Hurley? Put that crap down and go read a book." Speaking of, time to put this crap down and go read a book.
